Friday saw the last day of the school week
The last day of our pirate week
And we celebrated with a very special pirate lunch
We have been experimenting with Bento style lunches
And over the coming weeks will be sharing with you
Some of our themed lunches
With accessories from YumBox and the awesome Eats Amazing
Esther and William love their ‘pretty lunches’
And are looking forward to taking them to show their friends
At ‘big school’
After lunch Esther and William had some free play time
In our rather splendid new sandpit from Germany (review coming soon)
And their Pirate in a Tin sets from Beebies Baby Store
It was a hot and sunny afternoon
Esther and William could not wait to sink their feet into the sand
And start digging
William consulted his fabric treasure map
They both buried their fabric treasure to dig it up again
They dug with spades
Filled their buckets
Made marks with their hooks and their swords
They had a truly wonderful time
A great way to unwind
From a busy day at big school
After a good dose of free play in the sand
We sent Esther and William to run around the garden
While we hid some treasure in the sand pit for them to find
We wrapped wooden blocks in silver foil
Blocks and foil from our earlier Pieces of Eight Invitation to Play
5 green, 5 red, 5 blue
Esther and William had to find the treasure
And sort it by colour into piles
They really enjoyed their task
Aided by Ami from Beebies Baby Store
Though it was harder to rediscover the treasure
Than we had hoped and planned
It was a very very hot day
And once all the treasure was found
It was time for pirate stories and tea
In a shady spot in the garden
Beside our pirate ship
What a lovely way to end our day
Our week
Our wonderful pirate week
The books we read every day this week will be shared in our Pirates Book List on Beebies Baby Store Blog soon
